Warriors land a big one: Andre Iguodala

The Warriors have made a big free agent move, although it’s not Dwight Howard.

Golden State has agreed to a four-year, $48-million deal with Andre Iguodala, Yahoo! Sports Adrian Wojnarowski is reporting.

Before that shoe dropped, the Warriors had shed themselves of salary cap baggage by trading Richard Jefferson and Andris Biedrins to the Jazz, Wojnarowski and David Aldridge of TNT reported.

What this means for the Warriors in the Howard race isn’t immediately known although it could take them out of the race for Howard, which would be good news to the Rockets.

Iguodala told Aldridge that he didn’t know what Howard is going to do.

“If he comes to Golden State as well, it’s going to be even scarier,” Iguodala said.

Golden State was one of five teams that visited with the Lakers free-agent center earlier in the week and were being reported as one of Howard’s contenders along with the Lakers and Rockets. The Mavericks and Hawks were the other teams to give presentations.
